“Dave”

The essential purpose is to provide custodial care and routine maintenance to the church buildings and surrounding grounds. Dave primarily works alone and with little supervision.

While there are scheduled cleanings there are many exceptions that require Dave to adjust his plans to conform to scheduled uses of the facilities. He must clean the hall, set-up table and chairs, and dismantle for such activities as Family Night Dinners, line dancing, and any other groups that utilize Naar Hall. Cleanings of the sanctuary must also conform to Sunday services but be adjusted for such other uses as funerals, memorials, weddings, or baptisms.

Dave coordinates the work of private contractors hired by the church to maintain air conditioning and other equipment, and grounds maintenance.

Dave also meets with prospective users of the facilities to explain use requirements and availability.
